The AM27S02PC is a 1024-bit (256 x 4) Schottky PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory) supplied by Rochester Electronics. The 'S' indicates Schottky technology, which provides faster access times compared to standard PROMs. The 'PC' suffix usually signifies a plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package).
Applications
- Lookup tables
- Code converters
- Character generators
- Microprogram storage
- Address decoders
Features

Additional Details
The AM27S02PC typically operates on a 5V power supply and is housed in a 16-pin DIP package. Its Schottky technology allows for significantly faster access times compared to standard bipolar PROMs. As a PROM, it is a one-time programmable device; once programmed, the data cannot be erased or changed. Rochester Electronics' supply of this component ensures its availability for older systems that require this specific memory device. Always refer to the datasheet from Rochester Electronics for detailed specifications, including access times, programming requirements, and operating conditions.
